Excellent conversation. I love the nuanced discussion of various points, such as bedtime, social life, weekends, work, and more.
Currently I've been on a 6:30am wake-up schedule for weekdays, which I've been fortunate to have an accountability buddy in the same time zone for. This means an ideal bedtime of 10:30pm, but that is not always feasible. I'm usually pretty happy if I can get in bed by 11:15pm, which gives roughly five sleep cycles (maybe a tad less). On weekends, I get to "sleep in" til like 7 or 8am — which is wild to say because before this year, I struggled to wake up before 8am ever.
All said, this is still usually not enough time for me to get in a workout before work. Sometimes I have a consulting call at 7am or else I try to be in office by 8am. After six months of this schedule, I feel ready to take it a step further.
Therefore, I proposed a 6am wake-up time starting next week, which my friend was more than happy to accept. Now, I hope to get in a morning workout, at least on days without a 7am call.
Will this potentially cut into my evening activities? Yes, but a worthy sacrifice.
You cooked with the memes, chef.

Good luck, Lenny! Just take care of your bedtime and it sounds like it’ll work out. Looking forward to hearing how it works out for you.
Appreciate the compliment on the memes :)
